Mental Health Liaison Practitioner for the Learning Disability Teams
Hello my name is Emily Nicol and I am the Mental Health Liaison Practitioner for the Learning Disability Teams in Cornwall.
My role is to make sure that people with a learning disability have the same access to mental health services under the Equality Act.
I support mental health services to make reasonable adjustments. This is to make sure that services are better for people with a learning disability.
They can use the Green Light Toolkit to help them to do this. Click here for the toolkit
